Keep : Janmabhumi is the most popular Malayalam language daily newspaper.-- Padavalam Kuttan Pilla Talk 07:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explain the popularity with evidence.Kutyava (talk) 09:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I must confess I am trying to work out if there are AfD & tagging wars going on between various factions on the Indian Subcontinent at the moment but I can't prove it and whatever. Anyway this publiciation seem to have some substance. As far as I can work out Janmabhumi translates to birthplace which results in a lot of false hists to work through, but I note the following source: [1]. Its not so say the article doesn't have quality issues but in general I get concerned when publications are up at AfD. 21:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djm-leighpark (talk • contribs) 21:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 19:51, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep tentatively. The paper seems to have existed in Kerala for about 50 years now. Politically, it is a BJP mouthpiece. For example, according to Times of India, a BJP MP advertised their criminal cases in this newspaper. It is harder to find sources about newspapers in India, particular those outside of metro cities. I suggest keeping this, but cleaning the article.--DreamLinker (talk) 18:41, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep whilst it is difficult to find sources in English about the newspaper (most are in Malayalam), there are a few sources I found which do indicate that it is indeed a notable newspaper. ([2], [3]) --RaviC (talk) 10:24, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: This is being reopened and relisted per conversation at User_talk:Missvain#Closure_of_Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Janmabhumi. The nominator (User:Kutyava) and User:Authordom) has a Arbcom discussion in place and this is just routine. Please check out the publication with a neutral eye to make sure it passes our notability guidelines. We have struck Authordom's !vote from this nomination. Thanks everyone for assuming good faith.

Comment: To be clear: I remain with keep and have more RL things to deal with than this car-crash of a re-opened AfD.Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:25, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Notability: We have a draft guideline for notability for newspapers, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Newspapers/Notability. This would be a good test of these guidelines. At a minimum, the newspapers should appear on the List of Malayalam-language newspapers, where it is listed now. G. Moore 12:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou I've included WikiProject Newspapers on the article talk page. Some of those guidelines look excellent. I am really concerned about how Newspaper/Media articles are being wiped from Wikipedia at AfD.Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:13, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
